sender name

brent — Thur, 03 Jul 2008 18:16:49 GMT

Is it possible to show my keyword as the sender instead of the number 41411. A lot of people receiving my texts get confused as to who is sending it.

Is it possible to set up textmarks to have visitors leave comments or questions from my website? If so how would I set this up? Thank You, Larry

totally stumped on passing a variable to a page

Roz Lemieux — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:28:06 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to pass a variable - an email address - to a TextMark, and it doesn't seem to be working. I would truly appreciate your help figuring this out.

Here's the TextMark:
http://www.textmarks.com/MOMS

Here's what I have setup for a response URL in TextMarks:
http://www.momsrising.org/txt/healthcare/?Email=\0

If you go to that URL and put in an email address, you can see it works as expected:
http://www.momsrising.org/txt/healthcare/?Email=testing123@this.com

But when that page is called via TextMarks, it basically acts as though no variable has been passed to it. You can see that from the response that you get from TextMarks (thanks message doesn't start with your email, as it does on the page).

Here's the code that is meant to process the variable (add a new member), then offer up a response to the user with the variable in it. It also sends me an email but that's just for testing purposes:

<?php

// grab variables from URL
$Email = ($_GET );

// create a new curl resource
$ch = curl_init();

// add user to our database
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/processEditValues.jsp?table=supporter&organization_KEY=123&Email=".$Email."&redirect=http://www.momsrising.org");

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// send me an email with the variable in the subject and post msg to screen, to send by txt to user
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/processSpread.jsp?table=supporter&organization_KEY=123&from=rozlemieux@gmail.com&to=rozlemieux@gmail.com&successMessage=".$Email.",%20thanks%20for%20joining%20MomsRising.org!%20Together,%20we're%20making%20America%20truly%20family%20friendly.%20--%20Kristin,%20Joan,%20Katie,%20and%20all%20of%20us.&subject=".$Email);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close curl resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);

?>

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rosalyn

Support for MetroPCS?

David Williams — Thur, 26 Jun 2008 15:51:39 GMT

I have someone using a MetroPCS phone who cannot send messages to my keyword via 41411.

Can anyone confirm that MetroPCS is not currently a supported carrier, and if so, whether TextMarks will add support for them anytime soon?

Thanks.

Contextual Responses for Multiple Choice Menus & Voting

C. M. Rea — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 01:48:42 GMT

Ok. I am a little confused. I just set up my textmark as fratelliscafe. I want to be able to set it up so they can reply L for lunch specials and D for dinner specials. How and where do I set these up? Format would be great as well. I don't plan on using my website, but will if this is needed.

sub callback URL

kaczmar2 — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 05:09:05 GMT

I notice that when I subscribe to my textmark (SUB <KEYWORD>) more than once from the same cell number, I get a message: already subscribed. Good! However, my sub callback URL is called every time, even for a duplicate sub request. Is this intentional?

If so, then I need to write logic in my serverside script to look for duplicate numbers, and I didn't want to have to do this.

Keep up the good work - this is a great an innovative tool.

Alert me via email when my textmark is requested

RD — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:47:13 GMT

Is there anyway to receive an email and a SMS when someone requests for my textmark?

It'd be great if the email could let me know the phone number and the time of the folks who are requesting my textmark.

Can the email be different for each textmark I have setup??

thanks in advance

ROSHAMBO (Rock, Paper, Scissors)

RAD Moose — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:17:39 GMT

I created the ROSHAMBO TextMark awhile ago, but just recently got most of the features included.

Text ROSHAMBO to 41411 for instructions...or...

ROSHAMBO R for Rock
ROSHAMBO P for Paper
ROSHAMBO S for Scissors
ROSHAMBO H for Help

I requested it to be 'sticky' so you can send R, P or S in a reply after you have made your first contact.

The application will return your Win, Lose, and Tie stats as well as the stats of the computer. The computer isn't 'smart' at this tme, as it randomly picks one of the three options.

In the future I want to have it use your past experience to "weigh" it's throw.... for example, if you were to always throw Rock, it would 'learn' that it really should throw Paper more often than Scissors.

No, it doesn't look at your throw and try to figure out the winning move =P

It does have a database of all throws, so in the future I also want to have better stats responses available and maybe even a website to go see more detailed results of your playing.

Any and all feedback is welcomed and appreciated!

PS. Also working on HIGHLOW and other games. Got an idea for another game or even a non-game TextMark? Let me know. I am kinda bored =P

How do I manually add someone's number?

Steve — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 21:14:17 GMT

We've got someone who wants to subscribe to our TextMark but they get the response that they have to have a ten-digit phone number. Well, since she's testing from her cell, I'm assuming TextMarks is smart enough to know this, but I guess not.

How do I manually add her number?

widget

Is there any way to change the widget? Make it closer to the colors used on my page and require an extra field of information that will go into my own personal database?

# of advertisements

cat — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:29:34 GMT

As far as the ads are concerned... you mean that they are sent to the phones of people who have subscribed to my list, correct? As separate texts, or as part of the message I send out through textmarks.com? If they are separate texts, approx. how many are sent to them a week?

fdecker — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:24:03 GMT

Is it possible to change the way Alerts are delivered to subscribers so that instead of it being From:41411 it can be From:Our TextMark Name?

That way it won't get dismissed by some users as a text spam?

Thanks!

Great site...need some help though

Prem — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:25:02 GMT

I recently encountered this site and find it to be a great feature.

Currently, as I found from the help section, you can send your SMS and get responses for something like " TEXTMARK Word" using word as the search feature....

what if i wanted to have an SMS where it would be in this format

TEXTMARK Word1 Word2 and return something based on those 2 words? is there a script out there for this?

Thank you much

Prem
